Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications Overview
Loudspeaker Systems: The document provides detailed information on various loudspeaker systems from the Olympica and Principia collections, including 2-way bookshelf, 2-way floorstanding, 3-way floorstanding, and wall-mount systems. These systems are designed with either vented or closed box configurations and feature Sonus faber design elements.
Tweeter: All systems use a 29 mm high-definition precoated fabric dome driver, designed by Sonus faber, to ensure high performance and clarity.
Mid-Woofers and Woofers: The systems incorporate mid-woofers and woofers with free compression basket designs and polypropylene (PP) or Curv cones, providing ultra-dynamic performance and linearity. The number and size of drivers vary across models.
Cross-Over Points: Cross-over frequencies are typically set at 2,000 Hz or 2,500 Hz, with some models featuring additional cross-over points for enhanced sound distribution.
Frequency Response: The frequency response ranges from 38 Hz to 30,000 Hz, depending on the model, ensuring a wide range of sound reproduction.
Sensitivity and Impedance: Sensitivity levels range from 85 dB to 90 dB SPL, with nominal impedance typically at 4 or 6 ohms.
Amplifier Power Output: Suggested amplifier power output varies from 30W to 300W, depending on the model, to prevent clipping and ensure optimal performance.
Dimensions and Weight: The dimensions and weight of each model are specified, with optional dedicated stands available for certain bookshelf models.
Design and Materials: The systems feature advanced design elements such as the "Lyre" shape cabinet, progressive thickness triple curvature cabinet walls, and use of natural fibers in diaphragms for natural sound reproduction.
Finishes: Available finishes include Walnut, Piano Black, Whitewood, and Black, providing aesthetic options to suit different preferences.
System Design: The document details various loudspeaker systems from the Olympica and Principia collections, including 2-way standmount and 3-way floorstanding designs. The systems feature paralaminar stealth flow vented designs and utilize advanced materials and technologies for optimal sound performance.
Cabinet Construction: The cabinets are designed with enhanced 'Lyre shape' or elliptical shapes, using multilayer wood and solid walnut or maple for resonance control. Sub-structural ribs and exo-skeleton clamp structures are employed to minimize vibrations.
Driver Technology: Each system includes Sonus faber designed drivers, such as the 'Arrow Point' DAD tweeter and various midrange and woofer configurations. These drivers incorporate advanced materials like Neodymium motor systems, CCAW wire, and composite formers to ensure dynamic linearity and natural sound reproduction.
Crossover Design: The crossovers feature non-resonant 'progressive slope' designs with optimized amplitude/phase responses. Paracross topology is used for both tweeter and midrange band passes, with crossover points typically around 250 Hz to 2,500 Hz.
Performance Specifications: Frequency responses range from 35 Hz to 30,000 Hz, with sensitivities between 87 dB and 91 dB SPL. Nominal impedance is consistently 4 ohms, and suggested amplifier power outputs vary from 30W to 300W, depending on the model.
Dimensions and Weight: The dimensions and weights of the systems vary, with floorstanding models being larger and heavier than standmount versions. Optional dedicated stands are available for certain models.
Finishes: Available finishes include natural maple, light graphite, and red/black satin piano black, with ecological lacquer coatings for durability and aesthetics.
Unique Features: The Elipsa model is highlighted for its elliptic cabinet design, which provides a wide and deep soundstage. The use of wood fiber cones and exclusive crossover networks contribute to a natural and fatigue-free listening experience.
Overview: The document describes advanced audio equipment featuring innovative technologies for sound optimization and vibration reduction. Key components include tuned mass dampers, a floating bridge suspension system, and various custom-designed drivers.
Tuned Mass Dampers: These are two custom devices designed to eliminate micro-vibrations by oscillating in anti-phase, enhancing sound clarity.
Floating Bridge Suspension: A new "Bow spring" suspension system decouples the enclosure from the floor using Zero Vibration Transmission technology, minimizing acoustic feedback and vibration propagation.
Tweeter: The Sonus faber "Arrow Point" DAD features a 29 mm moving coil driver with a Neodymium motor system for ultra-dynamic linearity. It includes a natural wood acoustic labyrinth rear chamber and allows SPL adjustment for different listening environments.
Midrange: The Sonus faber M18 XTR-08 is a 180 mm midrange driver with a neodymium magnet system. It uses a composite former voice coil and a special diaphragm made from natural fibers for a natural sound. The design includes a dual metal basket to eliminate resonance.
Woofers: The Sonus faber W22 XTR-12 features a 220 mm lightweight "sandwich" cone structure designed for high performance and linearity. It includes a long-throw motor system and anti-compressor technology to reduce resonance and distortion.
Infra Woofer: The Sonus faber SW32 XT-08 is a 320 mm infra woofer with a honeycomb composite sandwich cone structure and Nanocarbon technology for rigidity. It features a powerful long-throw motor and adjustable SPL for low-end performance.
Sound Field Shaper: This patented technology controls the direct/reverberant radiation ratio, allowing SPL optimization. It includes a 29 mm neodymium dome driver and a 120 mm paper pulp/natural fiber blend cone driver.
Crossover: The non-resonant design features optimized amplitude/phase response and "Paracross topology" for the tweeter hi-pass. It uses high-quality components like Mundorf "Supreme" capacitors and Jantzen inductors, with crossover points at 55Hz, 180Hz, 250Hz, and 3000Hz.
Specifications: Frequency response is 20 Hz – 35,000 Hz with a sensitivity of 92 dB SPL. Nominal impedance is 4 ohms, and power handling ranges from 100W to 1KW. Dimensions are 1725mm x 482mm x 780mm, with a weight of 330 Kg per pair.
